 i think you're right.  obama is a lukewarm choice...with the economy, eight years of bush, etc--and obama still can't achieve separation in the polls?  had mccain stuck with his middle of the road viewpoint, and chosen a running mate with similar middle thoughts, and more experience, he'd be in the lead, rather than trailing by (depending on the polls) 2-8%.  no way far righters would abandon the republic party-his choice of palin was stupid and no doubt a decision he regrets.
